Gothic III

Quote:

With invading Orcs enslaving the human kingdom, only a handful of rebels remain hiding in the forests and mountains of Midland. Choose between joining the rebellion or serve the Orcish Usurpers, but you will ultimately tip the scales and decide the outcome of the last war to save humanity.

Gothic III provides a living world where the players can freely choose the way they want to play; whether exploring the world and enjoying its rich and enchanted atmosphere or following a darker path, and even ultimately destroying it. Every choice and action the player makes will directly echo and affect the world of Gothic, creating a life-like environment and allowing for complex character interaction.

Heroes does look interesting. I've played a little of Gothic3 and its pretty good. However I would recommend to install the patches FIRST as this fixes up some balancing issues and wild boars dont become godly anymore.

Daniel, whats your pcs cpu/videocard/ram? Lag usually isnt a game problem but hardware.
